TC: I checked that last time and I think I am outside those 10% in all games. I think you will run into the issue that a significant number of those 10% are not playing anymore just sitting there. But otherwise I like the idea.
Here a hint how you can make it easier for potential participants: Obviously, because of your 10%-cutoff-point, the minimum rating needed is different for each game. You could list that minimum rating, so anyone can see right away if he falls into it. I found it rather tiresome to scroll through the full list to find out how many people are in total in the list, divide it by ten, and then find the rating of that position to see if I make it. If you do that once, you save everybody that work, and maybe get more players? Not me though...

January Backgammon

Good luck

Dear friends:
Trying to promote new memberships for my fellowship, I´ve created this Prize tourney:
The Chess Club (1. December 2013, 12:42:24)
Please feel free to invite all your friends (they must require membership to enter)
Regards,
tenuki.

Several of the games of BAH HUMBUG!! #2 started tonight. There are 2 more days to sign up for the ones that didn't have enough, though. There are a couple that only need one more person. So, be that person to let it start!

Jan 1 2014 Pente Tourney for 6month Rook!

I normally do these things just for the folks in the SPP fellowship but this time I've opened this up BK wide!

this Tourney does have a fischers clock since I want it to be over before The 8th Annual St Pats Tourney which will start in March but the time limits should be pretty doable.

5 day start time with 8 hour bonuses for each move with a max time accumulated of 10days. 5 player sections also btw!

I know someone wants this 6 month Rook prize so Good luck to everyone that signs up, and may the pente gods be on your side!

All Games Fast Start 1

December Backgammon

Good Luck

have a marvelous day :)

Having the 10 years' aniversary on this site soon, I decided to launch two tournaments soon

Mých 10 let na BK - pavouk
Mých 10 let na BK

Cloning Backgammon
Crowded Backgammon
Anti Backgammon

2 1/2 days per move
two games per pair of players
9 players per section

JerNYC: Which is more impressive, a player who manages to beat another player who won a lot of games, or a player who beats another player who could only manage to win a small number of games?

Anyway, that is the logic of S-B, for better or for worse. People who lose on tiebreaks tend to be unhappy about it, while people who win on tiebreaks seem happy enough....

JerNYC: you played even against eachother, but he won against #4 while you lost against #4 ... that earns him more points

of course you won against #5 and he lost against #5, but you gain less points against #5 than against #4

JerNYC: The logic of the S-B system is as follows -
Comparing your performance with that of Ugo, it's very similar. The difference is that Ugo managed to beat Carpe Diem (1944) twice, whereas you managed to beat Zurab (1737) twice. 1944>1737, therefore Ugo did better.

I agree that you did better considering your rating, but this wasn't a handicap tournament, so it doesn't get taken into account.

created 2 new tourneys   all can play lots of variety  rememberance day tourney
or All games Tourney

The Col:

JerNYC: Having a paid membership must be the tie breaker

JerNYC:

I am forced to finish in second place because of the S-B totals even though the first place winner is rated almost 300 points higher than me. I deserved to have a playoff with him for the tournament title. He and I split our two games so that alone should have been given credence. This feels wrong. I am definitely not a proponent of the S-B.
